30 Polaris 46 E+ 138 E-
AeroLOPA view: https://www.aerolopa.com/ua-boeing-76a
AVOID Polaris:
7A, 7L does not have a window.
Recommended E+ seats:
21DEF (middle seats) have extra legroom as an emergency crossover row. Note that 21AB and KL have limited recline.
22AB and KL have extra legroom but may be cold.
40AB, 41AB are crew-rest seats. If available (usually T-24), they have a footrest and extra recline.

TL;DR UA will do the 3 class birds (pmUA 763 and 772) first, then the pmCO 772s, then will reassess and decide to reconfigure the remaining 767s and extend the life of them or retire them, I would expect a decision on the future of the 764 and 2 class 763s about 2020, but I would expect retirement as they will need at least 5 years with Polaris seats to extend the life.

I wouldn't be surprised if the 764s get them, they're about the same age as 777-200 ERs or newer.

Does anyone know if the first retrofit has been completed yet?

After reconfig, this is the best 767 flying. Both upfront and in the back.

The site is simply a hate platform, so it's not worth even linking to. It's a shame they are being anything but a constructive resource for customers.

All of a sudden, he says the 767-300 is something else? Agree with others, this article is total garbage.

Given the 'state of the art' on a 767 is the Thompson Vantage there's plenty of room for this to be better.
No one is going to be flying 11 hours in this layout and look forward to trying it on the few birds that will have it.

Hard to imagine these are what we used to call "Ghetto birds".... fantastic update for a fantastic plane. Love the 767 fleet - wish there were more of them!

767-300 ord-lhr
The schedule seems so up in the air, no pun intended! Is there anyway to figure out when the 767-300 ORD-LHR will have the new Polaris seats? They have 3 of those planes going non-stop on that route a day.
